Bandai Namco has signed on with one of the hottest up-and-coming stars in the international sports world. At a press conference held in Tokyo on the 10th, it was revealed that the newly merged company will serve as a sponsor for Shinobu Moromizato, the 19-year-old Japanese golfer who successfully turned pro in July of last year. Bandai Namco joins a select few major players, including Canon, who will sponsor Moromizato for a three year period starting this month.

At the press conference, Bandai Namco Holdings president Takeo Takasu offered hope for Moromizato's future success. According to Takasu, in addition to the Bandai Namco logo appearing on Moromizato's cap, we can expect Moromizato to take part in promotional work for Namco products.

We're all looking forward to Moromizato appearing as a secret character in Soul Calibur 4.
